Today I bring you a great article in National Geographic, The Hunt for Life Beyond Earth. Written by Michael D. Lemonick with gorgeous photography by Mark Thiessen, the piece asks that age-old question: Are we alone?
We may find the answer to that question sooner than we think.

Pope Francis Says He Would Definitely Baptize Aliens If They Asked Him To
If – for example – tomorrow an expedition of Martians came, and some of them came to us, here… Martians, right? Green, with that long nose and big ears, just like children paint them… And one says, ‘But I want to be baptized!’ … Who are we to close doors?
So in addition to focusing on the issues of poverty, inequality and other related topics, the Pope is open-minded enough to include aliens in his view of the future. Nice.

I know, I should be working (and I have been and I will be) but! Google has a fun little Doodle in honor of the 66th anniversary of the Roswell incident, and it’s too much fun not to mention.
Need a break? Play the game and take a moment to feel for the little lost alien. Poor thing! Now back to work:)

Since I’m on an NPR science kick… this article provides a fascinating glimpse of our dual genetic past… and perhaps future?
What Happened When Humans Met An Alien Intelligence? Sex Happened : Krulwich Wonders… : NPR
… most humans on Earth, especially if they descend from Europe and most of Asia, carry about 1 to 4 percent Neanderthal DNA in their cells. Proportions will vary. British comedian Eddie Izzard, discovered he’s 2.8 percent Neanderthal. You don’t carry Neanderthal DNA unless someone up your family tree coupled with one.
So that’s our proof: that our first encounter with an intelligent alien led to … umm, well … more.
